Two Moroccan citizens, of Saharawi descent, returned Sunday to their motherland, Morocco after they succeeded to flee the Tindouf camps, southwestern Algeria.

A large demonstration was held on Thursday outside the headquarters of the leadership of Polisario in the Tindouf camps in southwest Algeria, to demand the release of the Slouh Salem Mohamed, arrested last week by Polisario militias, reported eyewitnesses.  

A member of a group of Polisario dissidents, known as "Polisario-Khatt Achahid" (line of the martyr), was arrested in Tindouf (southwestern Algeria) by the polisario's militias, Sahrawi activists in Spain said on Wednesday.

The Moroccan autonomy proposal in the southern provinces "represents the future for the peoples of the Sahara," said Tuesday in Rabat, the chairman of the Parliamentary Friendship Group Europe Morocco, Mr. Philippe Morillon.

The British government welcomed the efforts made by the former Personal Envoy of UN Secretary-General for the Sahara, Peter Van Walsum, to reach a solution to the conflict.
